India's car industry offers a wide variety of cars, from sturdy SUVs and family-friendly sedans to little hatchbacks. But a few stand out above the rest, maintaining their status as India's best-selling automobiles. India was the fourth largest vehicle-producing nation in the world in 2023, despite the country's severe competitiveness in the automotive sector.
India is the third-largest automotive market globally in terms of sales as of 2023. The Indian government is aggressively pushing green mobility measures in response to climate change.
Which automobiles are excellent enough to hold their positions as the best-selling cars in India in such a cutthroat auto market? Let's examine the list and determine their ranking.
India's best-selling vehicles as of August 2024
Based on information gathered from industry sources, we have prepared a list of the best-selling automobiles in India as of August 2024.
1. Maruti Suzuki Brezza
Price: Rs 8.29 - Rs 14.14 lakh
In the small SUV market, the Maruti Brezza is a strong competitor after the Tata Nexon. Introduced only a year ago, the most recent generation has shown itself to be a fierce contender among its contemporaries, benefiting from Maruti\'s well-established reputation and providing Brezza with an edge over its rivals.
The 1.5-litre gasoline engine of the Brezza is mated to a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission. Furthermore, all automatic versions of the Brezza include mild hybrid technology, which offers a mileage of 17.38 to 19.8 km/l. The Brezza, like the majority of Maruti automobiles, is available with CNG versions that have a mileage of 25.51 km/kg.
2. Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
Price: Rs 8.64 - Rs 13.08 lakh
As the best-selling MUV in India, the Maruti Ertiga has developed a solid reputation over time. With room for seven people, a sturdy chassis, and an effective drivetrain, the Ertiga meets the requirements of the majority of Indians looking for a multipurpose vehicle.
Furthermore, taxi businesses are quite interested in its CNG versions.
The Ertiga's 1.5-litre gasoline engine, which is fitted with mild hybrid technology, powers the vehicle. There are two types of transmissions available: a 6-speed automatic and a 5-speed manual. The Ertiga's fuel economy is 20.51 km/l for gasoline and 26.11 km/kg for compressed natural gas.
3. Hyundai Creta
Price: Rs 10.87 - Rs 19.20 lakh
Tenth on the list of best-selling vehicles in India went to the Hyundai Creta. The only Hyundai vehicle on this list and the best-selling mid-size SUV, the Creta, confirms this claim.
Because of the rising popularity of rival vehicles like the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, the Hyundai Creta is progressively falling down the list. Still, the Korean SUV is deserving of praise for continuing to hold the top spot among mid-size SUVs in terms of sales.
4. Maruti Suzuki Wagon R
Price: Rs 5.54 - Rs 7.42 lakh
For a considerable amount of time, the Maruti Wagon R model has been a popular option in India, which has helped Maruti dominate the industry. Its classic beauty, solid mechanics, and family-friendly design are the reasons behind its success.
A 1-litre and a 1.2-litre petrol engine are the two available options for the Maruti Wagon R. With a CNG kit installed, the 1-litre model can get an amazing mileage of 25.19 km/l on gasoline and 34.05 km/kg on compressed natural gas.
5. Tata Punch
Price: Rs 6 - Rs 10.10 lakh
This Indian little SUV has been incredibly successful since its release. The Tata Punch has the most spacious cabin of any compact SUV, even though it is the smallest in its class.
It is also one of the safest automobiles in India with a 5-star G-NCAP safety certification. Most notably, these features are available for an enticing Rs 6 to Rs 10.10 lakh price range. Tata has added CNG versions to the Punch inventory, increasing the vehicle\'s appeal to a wider variety of consumers.
6. Mahindra Scorpion N+Classic
Price: Rs 15.62 - Rs 20.03 lakh
The Mahindra Scorpio has long maintained a dominant position in the SUV market, and the reason it has just made it onto the list of the best-selling vehicles in India is mainly due to the growing demand—which is further fueled by the upcoming holiday season—for sturdy SUVs.
The Scorpio portfolio now consists of two models: the newer Scorpio N, which was introduced last year and has been an incredible success since its introduction, and the enduringly popular Scorpio Classic, which is a favorite among SUV purchasers.
